How much should it cost to install a gas cooker?

The average gas cooker installation cost in the UK is £75–£150, depending on your location and the complexity of the job.

If you go through British Gas, the cooker installation price is usually towards the top end of that range.

Always confirm what’s included, like disconnecting your old cooker or taking away waste.

Do you need an electrician to install a gas cooker?

No, you need a Gas Safe registered engineer to install a gas cooker.

However, if your new cooker needs a new socket, rewiring, or has built-in electrical functions, you may also need an electrician alongside the gas installer.

Can you install your own gas cooker?

No. By law, only a Gas Safe registered engineer can install a gas cooker. Attempting DIY installation is unsafe, could invalidate your home insurance, and may leave you at risk of carbon monoxide leaks.

What are the regulations for installing a gas cooker?

UK regulations state that all gas appliances must be fitted by a Gas Safe engineer. Installers must check:

Approved bayonet fitting is used
Adequate ventilation is available
Correct clearance from cupboards and walls
Compliance with safety certificates

This makes sure your gas cooker is fitted safely and legally.

How long does a gas cooker installation take?

A standard installation usually takes 1–2 hours. It may take longer if pipework needs adjusting, electrical work is required, or the old cooker needs disconnecting and removed. Your installer will let you know before starting.
